great
it truly is a haunting background but always stand up for yourself because if you don't it follows you every where you go with no justice for yourself left but look it jessie j her story tells everything her justice was fame and those girls who did that to her honestly look stupid right now because we all know the one who is picked on is the one who is picked for fame.
